I should probably explain when I bought this boat the gauges were removed and the wires were cut. To make it worse, sometime along the way the boat was changed from 6 volt to 12 and an alternator was used to replaced the generator and a lot of the wiring was replaced and the only color wire used was yellow. It's been a real struggle getting things working. Maybe I should find somebody that knows what they're doing and have the whole boat rewired.

Sam,
Get an engine manual. The wiring diagram will be in it. It's really very basic. I have a 4 and 6 Chris manual and it's in it.

I ran a wire from under one of the sending unit hold-down screws to the rear of the engine block and now I have resistance when testing with an ohm meter from the tank to the block.

Thanks to all of you,

Sam

Sam

How much resistance? Keep in mind per the previous thread and john's mentioning the USCG reg, it needs to be at or under 100 Ohms.

I've been on vacation and finally got around to checking the ohms resistance between fuel tank and engine block. The needle on the meter goes almost all the way to the right side of the dial between 1 and zero. Is this good?

Depending on what scale the meter is on, I would say you should be good!
